A classroom is a room in which teaching or learning takes place and which can be found in all kinds of educational institutions. It is supposed to provide an appropriate learning environment for instructors to give lessons to students.
Equipment and Stationery
Most classrooms have some form of large writing surface on which the teacher or instructor can make notes for the class. Traditionally, this was in the form of a blackboard but these are becoming less common in well-equipped schools, and are replaced by flipcharts, whiteboards and interactive whiteboards. Many classrooms also have TVs, maps, charts, books, monographs and LCD projectors for presenting information and images. A classroom also ]]s and erasers. There is normally a school equipment fund which means if any of the equipment either stops working or breaks due to misuse then it can be replaced.Types of classrooms
For lessons that require specific resources or a vocational approach different types of classrooms both indoors and outdoors are used. This is known as situated learning. Classrooms can range from small groups of 5 or 6 to big classrooms of up to 200 children, these are lecture classrooms. A few examples of classrooms are:-- Computer lab
- Food Technology room
- Science labs, although these aren't really classrooms they are laboratories
- Gymnasium
